    Has anyone a solution to remove the "Activate Windows" watermark on non-activated Systems?
    I removed the activation Picture (this key) successfully from twinui.dll, but where can I remove the text?

    Why everybody wants to activate their Windows 8? You see that KMS isn't permanently and also not reliable.

    We only have to find a way to disable this stupid activation-watermark and to patch systemsettings.exe to customize start Screen.

    Right, because I've more Computers and not all are activated yet.

    I write this because we have to find another way. What is in 180 days? All Windows 8 copys will be de-activated.

    Well I'm glad that I got to activate my machine because now I know that the activation data can be backed up hence why I created a guide.
    Aren't you glad to know stuff like that? I know I am extremely glad to know this when I buy Windows 8 this winter.

    I have 2 monitors and when I play a game fullscreen on my primary monitor the 2nd monitor only updates once every second. Does anyone know a way to fix that? I like to have a live stream open on my 2nd monitor but watching it isn't fun when it's 1FPS.

    It's video drivers problem I think, what video card you have?

    It doesn't help me to know that because my Computer isn't activated yet.

    We Need a PERMANENT solution and not such as a KMS Server that appears and in 5 minutes it is again offline.

    Gigabyte GTX 680 2GB, running the 304.79 drivers. This problem wasn't on Windows 7.

    Use Windows 7 drivers. It should work good, I have problems with nvidia drivers for 8 to.

    304.79 is what I used for W7 too. 304.79 works much better with the 680 than the earlier drivers so I'd rather live with this problem than use an older driver. If I tab out of the game it's fine on both screens but starts as soon as I tab in again.

    It's maybe game problem. What game you play?

    I've played Crusader Kings 2, Death Rally and Red Faction: Armageddon. It's the same with all of them.

    EDIT: And just to clarify, game performance is as usual.
